Here I am again, indulging my fascination with tidal waves. And for those of you who have not been following me and my love of depicting natural disasters, here is a picture of a tidal wave about to wipe out a swimmer.

What I like most about this one is the apparent determination of the swimmer in spite of the tidal wave. She is not letting the fact that a tidal wave is coming deter her from her goal.

This reminds me of all those tasks we dread doing and therefore, we avoid them. If only we did not put them off, we would realize how fast the jobs can be accomplished. It is in procrastinating that we do these tasks more than once. Conceptually doing them over and over, rather than merely marching toward them, like the swimmer.

In our minds, we will be destroyed by the task. There is no outcome collage. No way of knowing what happens to the swimmer. So maybe it is best to procrastinate.

That’s true. But I aim high. However you are right! The most successful people start with small steps and then move on. At least that is what my daughter learned at Harvard last summer! And who, I mean who is to question Harvard and YOU Marjie! 🙂

My daughter went to Harvard last summer as you know. And the course included a “Successful People” part. The most successful people start small and build from that.Who can argue with Harvard and Marjie?l tend to aim high. I feel that this is where being great is. In the process. Thank you so much for following my blog even on vacation. It means a lot to me!
